My journey to EA:
2009: start arriving at utilitarian-adjacent ethics
Dec 2012: read Peter Singer’s Famine Affluence and Morality
Circa 2013/14: find my way to EA through googling about Singer and FAaM
2014-2019: in the orbit of EA. i.e. will talk to people about morality and utilitarian stuff but not very engaged in the community aside from attending uni club meeting every once and while.
2020: EAGxVirtual (I’m starting to move from the orbit closer to the actual community)
2022: Dive deep into the community. And now we arrive at the present day.
As someone working in the US democracy space professionally, I think it is tractable and there are strategies we could employ here that have worked in other contexts (nonviolent civil resistance as described by scholar Erica Chenoweth being an obvious example).
